By chance, was this guy head of the IMF?
The question should be about this man`s right to have sex .
yeah from my reading he can't be done for zoophilia (bestiality) so if the sheep does not go to court and complain then it is all hearsay evidence .
maybe they will harken back to the old days and force him to marry the sheep!
my next question is, is he an immigrant from new Zealand or an immigrant from the middle east? (sarcasm) guess we need to find out if wearing gumboots or sandles!
Man convicted of sex crimes and the court suggest psychiatric care
Taxi driver abuse female driver and he is allowed to keep his license
Murderers walk away with 2 years in prison and the list continues.
I am beginning to think the stupid laws fit the stupid population. Here in Sweden we would march out to the street to protest for the release of some imprisoned journalist in Eritrea or someone in Burma. Yet, we remain quiet to the travesty of our own justice system.

"Isn't being killed worst then being raped?"
Try both and let us know your answer.
There should be social dating site for men and sheeps who shares the same lifestyle.
There should be organizations of sheeps fighting for the rights of men in other countries.
I wonder if they had any foreplay?
"Ewes who were raped had incited men's lust by dressing immodestly and only have themselves to blame."
He needs some shock therapy. He should be made to pursue a Badger and attempt to engage the animal.
"I notice in your ads on the right-hand side of this page, there is a photo of two women kissing (not the Facebook ad, which is also just as bad). OK, here are some facts of life that the liberal mind does not like and so pushes them out of his consciousness." What a fanatical nut! The Inqusition needs fanatics like Marshal Lynn who would probably like to set up a religious dictatorship à la the Sharia. "Facts of life." What does a submoron know about the naturalistic fallacy? Nothing whatever.His drivel reflects a half-educated mindset.
I'm not gay, but i would assume that those who are do not feel that there is any alternative to what they consider their healthy natural sexuality.
The exact same thing that you and i feel about our healthy natural sexuality.
Only on the local can a news feature like this turn into a political , religious debate
Cannot believe it but a miserable sheep shagger has triggered the Trolls !
Call me a bit conservative but that guy should have a loaded bolt gun put to his head and then the trigger pulled. Nasty, dirty perverted SOB !!
Best thing is to get rid of that sort of filth before they get bored and move onto kiddies. Perhaps those self same idiots who thought this miscreants activities were fun might stop laughing. The guy is mental confirmed. If he is so whacky get him to entertain your kids whilst you go out for the evening.

Never mind my Swedish husband thinks that at times you guys make the Swedes appear a bit uhhhh...not exactly like the "stellar beings of human perfection " that they like to think of themselves as. ( 2 years for screwing a sheep- if she complains and 6 years for raping a hot chick on the street- well,because she was hot)
Tell it like it is ,guys! This is a helluv an article!
thanks the Local!!!
But on the other hand, they can't wash dishes, do the laundry or cook...
...wait a minute,,, they can however be cooked, um yummy : )
do the DNA tests i say.
"If you open the door to alternative sexuality, many things are going to come in that door." - yes, and that is a good thing. If people want to have sex with animals and no one is harmed, so be it. We should not be allowing the government to control what people do just because certain other people are disgusted by it. It simply should not be a matter for legislation.
If they say that people have the right to choose,then,people will choose anything,because they are being given such a right.
It's not possible for any society to function without limits .There must have limits for everything .Sex is between a man and a woman and within a legal and legitimate framework that is marriage./
While I agree with your conclusions that different kinds of sexuality will become commonly accepted, I fail to see the problem. You claim to have proof as to why this would be a negative change and yet all you've said is that "it's bad because you say it is". You also seemingly do not understand that things such as moral and what is right is subjective terms. Merely claiming that you can somehow prove that every kind of sexuality except that between a man and a woman is wrong won't do, you'll have to actually provide evidence supporting your cause.
Seriously, anybody that would take advantage of a dumb beast that way, would take advantage of a woman or child under their power if they thought they could get away with it.

maybe this chap shoul be made to marry the goat. lol
cheers
The question of having sex with animals is a social question and perhaps the basis of another set of laws. I don't really care if someone wants to have sex with an animal but I do care if it hurts or injures the animal.
Do sheep carry veneral diseases? Imagine explaining that to your health clinic.
To all you idiots that have left these nasty, cold and sick comments I hope you are proud of your sick stupid selves, you sick sex criminals....
Animals have a right to be here as much as humans do and it is every decent law maker and decent citizens duty to protect animals as it is to protect the young, weak, disabled and old people. And animals have rights to!

It really disgust and shocks me not only that a person can rape a sheep or any voiceless victim, but these nasty idiots leaving sick comments are just has bad as the sheep rapist. Raping animals in my strong opinion is has bad has raping a child or human! Why? Because they animals are voiceless victims and they are unable to express in words the horror of such an experience.

The rest of you are disgusting and I wonder if the victim also asked for it if it had been your daughter, sister, mother, wife, etc. I think not! Since the majority of posters on this subject seems to enjoy bestiality, I can tell you this fact: People engaging in sex with animals are more likely to rape children than others. Paedophilians will get a jail sentence, animal rapers will get a fine.
